Six New for Fail 2011 ManGlaze Swatches & Review

Good afternoon all! Today I have six new shades from ManGlaze to share with you. ManGlaze called this "New for Fail" which I find kinda silly. ManGlaze have always been my favorite brand of polishes for matte polish. Once I saw the release pictures for these I thought to myself that I must have it and I went ahead and ordered right away. Let's take a look!


Butt Taco is a bright red-orange matte shimmer. 2 coats. I can't help but laugh at the name!


Fatty's Got More Blood is a vampy dark purple-red matte shimmer. 2 coats. Again the name is hilarious!


Cabron is a dark plum purple matte shimmer 2 coats. Look at the silver specks on these! The shimmer is intense with a top coat, unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it with a top coat, it just ruins the purpose of matte polishes.


Nawsome Sauce is a green matte shimmer. 2 coats. This is awesome! I love it. You probably think it's similar to OPI's Here Today Aragon Tomorrow Suede, but it's not. Nawsome Sauce is a true forest green. And another similar one would be Zoya's Veruschuka, but no this is different from both.


Ilf is a aqua teal matte shimmer. Kind of like a Tiffany & Co. color but in matte and with shimmer. This was in two coats.


Mink Mitten is a metallic lavender purple matte shimmer. 2 coats. This is the true beauty to the collection. It just screams gorgeous and my picture does no justice for this polish. It looks shiny in my picture, but imagine it a matte shine. This is a must have for me.

Overall, I loved this whole collection. The colors are great, unique, and awesome. The formula for these were superb. It went on so smooth with no bumps or smudges. I tend to always have problems with matte polishes, but this applied like butter (if that's a good a thing). That's the reason I love ManGlaze polishes, I never have problem applying them because the formula is excellent and makes application super easy. The only slight problem I had with these is that the label of the polishes were bleh, besides Mink Mitten. Maybe I should've waited awhile before ordering them so I could've got all the new labels. But you know what, in the end, only the polish matters!

They retail for $13.13 per bottle and it's available at there website manglaze.com, it will then let you click to either purchase from their Facebook store or their Amazon store. I ordered from their Facebook store, so I can assure you it's safe to do it there.

What do you guys think of this collection?

ManGlaze Royal Matterimoaning

Hey all! Today I have another new polish to show you from ManGlaze. It is called Royal Matterimoaning. How do you even pronounce that? When I read it I always say "matter i moaning" which doesn't really make sense but whatever the color is freaking awesome. It is a royal blue shimmer matte.



Look at that beauty packed with shimmers. It was fully opaque and smooth in one coat, but I ended up doing two because I messed up on my pinky finger. I never have trouble with ManGlaze matte polishes, they always apply so flawless for me. I have tried plenty of matte polishes and nothing really compares to ManGlaze. Sure they are a little bit pricey, but it is definitely worth it in my opinion. Some people spend more than $20 on certain types of polishes (including myself) that applies so sloppy with so many annoying perks.

But anyways! That is all I have for today~

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Nail Art

I got to go to the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibit at the Met in Manhattan a few weeks ago. It was so amazing that I went through twice! I used Dress 13 for this manicure.

I love how this one turned out! I used Color Club Pretty In Platinum for the base. Next I made Will splatter Maybelline Matte Grey & Pure Ice Wild Thing all over my nails. I've used this technique before for my Dexter nails & my Point Blank Design nails. Super fun & super messy! I topped it off with a coat of ManGlaze Matte-astrophe.

Thanks for reading!

ManGlaze Fuck Off & Dye

So those that are following me on twitter knows that I broke my left pointer nail pretty bad, so I haven't swatched at all. For the next three posts, it will be on swatches and review that was meant to be posted but never got to it.

Today I have for you ManGlaze's new matte color called Fuck Off & Dye. Now I know a few people might find this nail polish name offensive, but I'm 24 and could really give a damn, because the F word is used by almost everyone, but fear not because they made another name for it called Blue!.

Anyways, Fuck Off & Dye is a gorgeous hot pink shimmer matte. I did two thin coats and surprisingly one coat was opaque enough for full coverage, I did two for a smooth finish. Have a look!



Isn't this gorgeous or WHAT?! It's by far the best pink matte ever, simply because the application was flawless. I didn't have any issues with the bumpiness or unevenness that I deal with for mattes. That was quite shocking for me, but I am satisfied. It was definitely worth every penny in my wallet.

ManGlaze can be purchased on their website at www.manglaze.com

Well that's all I have to share for today!

ManGlaze Mayonnaise, Astrophe, New Fuggen Ugly

More ManGlaze matte polishes to show today, including their new white matte polish Mayonnaise and their new revised Fuggen Ugly. And since my last post of ManGlaze was missing Astrophe matte top coat, I've included it in this one as well.


One thing I love about ManGlaze matte nail polishes are their beautiful artwork on the bottles! Above is my whole collection of ManGlaze polishes.

Below: ManGlaze's newest addition to their nail polishes is Mayonnaise. A white matte with slight pearly matte finish. I love how this one looks on my nails. It's not like wite-out on nails, it's really matte finish with subtly shimmery pearl. I had to do three coats for full coverage which is typical because whites seems to be a pain in the ass color to polish on. I had no complaints though. I used Nail Tek Foundation II base coat for the base.





I applied Hot Mess over Mayonnaise. This made it look really astonishing. I loved the look but I was upset because I woke up with a dent. This was because I fell asleep a few minutes after I did my nails. lol -_-







Revised Fuggen Ugly - grey matte shimmer. The difference between the revised Fuggen Ugly and the old one? This one is more matte.



Here is the old Fuggen Ugly as you can see this one has more silver to it and not as matte.

Below: A compaison I did between the two Fuggen Ugly's.




Index and Ring: Revised Fuggen Ugly
Middle and Pinky: Old Fuggen Ugly

You can see the difference in the matte shimmer. I would prefer the revised Fuggen Ugly over the old one :)


And finally here is ManGlaze's Astrophe Matte Top Coat. If you apply the matte top coat when the polish is still wet, it gives this "crackle" affect (as shown on my pinky and ring finger). And when applied on dried nail polish, it goes on smooth.

So that is all I have for today, what do you guys think of these polishes? On a scale of 0-10, I give them 11!

ManGlaze Hot Mess

This is 3 coats of ManGlaze Hot Mess with no top coat. Super cool matte silver! It's supposed to be a topcoat but I think it looks pretty amazing all by itself!

I won all of the ManGlaze polishes from Sara of Daily Polish. Thanks again Sara!

And thank you for reading!

Sinful Mint Apple, Nail Stickers & ManGlaze!

This is three coats of Sinful Mint Apple, a lovely dark mint with silver microshimmer. Another winner from Sinful!

I decided to try some nail art stickers for the first time and I really like the end result.

The next day I decided to try my new ManGlaze polishes that I won from Sara of Daily Polish. So fun! I used Matte-Astrophe on my ring and pinkie and Hot Mess on the other two fingers.

Thanks for reading!

ManGlaze Matte Nail Polish

Morning all! I took off today because I was feeling lazy =X

I finally got the chance to try ManGlaze polishes. I've been wanting to try these since last year but never ordered them. I finally did in April, and I finally tried them out, and I am in love with them. By far the best matte's out there.

What I love most about these are the bottles, the art work is so cool!




Matte is Murder - black matte shimmer. 2 coats. Applied like perfection.


Fuggen Ugly - charcoal steel gray matte. 2 coats. Looks flawless doesn't it? That's because it is!


Hot Mess - silver glitter matte top coat. 2 coats. This would be best over color which would look fabulous in almost anything.

I haven't tried Matte-Astrophe yet. But I did read that it gives a crackle affect when applied to wet polish! I can't wait to try that out.

These are perfect application mattes. Not to mention they last quite awhile too. I've had Fuggen Ugly on my nails for 3 days, been to the beach and all and they were still perfectly on my nails. Would've had it on longer but nail polish on my nails more than 2 days must means something :)

That is all I have for today!!

World Cup 2010 "Group of Death" Nail Art

I used my new ManGlaze Matte is Murder for last week's Group of Death games in this year's World Cup. Here's a definition of the term from Wikipedia.

A group of death in a multi-stage tournament is a preliminary group which is unusually competitive, because the number of strong competitors in the group is greater than the number of qualifying places available for the next phase of the tournament. Thus, in the preliminary round, one or more strong competitors in the "group of death" will necessarily be eliminated, who would otherwise have been expected to progress further in the tournament.

Brazil & Portugal made it out this time but Ivory Coast had to go home.

I won all of the ManGlaze polishes recently from Sara of Daily Polish. Thanks again! I used my amazing smARTnails sticker stencils and ManGlaze Hot Mess & Fuggen Ugly for the skulls.

Here's a shot of ManGlaze Matte is Murder before the skulls. It was easy to work with and required three coats.


Thanks for reading!
